Finland's president and prime minister have called for the country to apply for NATO membership as soon as possible.
In a joint statement, Sauli Niinisto and Sanna Marin said: 'NATO membership would strengthen Finland's security. As a member of NATO, Finland would strengthen the entire defence alliance. Finland must apply for NATO membership without delay'.
It's the first step in a process that could see Finland roll back decades of military non-alignment.
The announcement is expected to put pressure on Sweden, which is also considering applying to join the western military defence alliance. Finland shares a 1300 kilometre border with Russia. The mood in Finland has changed dramatically since Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
